Avoid backtraces on expected failures when built with ghc 8; only use backtraces for unexpected errors.
ghc 8 added backtraces on uncaught errors. This is great, but git-annex was
using error in many places for a error message targeted at the user, in
some known problem case. A backtrace only confuses such a message, so omit it.
Notably, commands like git annex drop that failed due to eg, numcopies,
used to use error, so had a backtrace.
This commit was sponsored by Ethan Aubin.
